How to Make Ww 4 Points Pollo Pibil
- **Day 1: Prepare the Achiote Paste & Marinate Chicken**
- In a spice grinder or mini food processor, combine: 2 tablespoons achiote seeds, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Process into a coarse powder.
- Transfer the spice mixture to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Stir until well combined.
- Let the achiote paste stand overnight at room temperature.
- In a large resealable gallon-size bag, combine the prepared achiote paste, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Add 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to the bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out excess air. Turn to coat the chicken evenly.
- Refrigerate overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
- **Day 2: Prepare and Bake**
- In a medium non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
- Stir in 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Cut four 12-inch squares of heavy-duty foil. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade. Divide the chicken, onion-pepper mixture, and 1 large tomato (sliced) equally among the four foil squares.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the filling, crimping to seal tightly.
- Place the foil packets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before carefully opening the packets.
- Serve immediately. 4 points per serving (based on Weight Watchers plan).
